Title: 190a5 gun Q's and wing loading (HTC)
Post by: pimpjoe on March 18, 2002, 08:35:15 PM

when in the hangar and you can select either the 2 mg151 or 4 mg151 loadout...if you choose the 2 gun loadout i noticed that when in the plane you can still see the 2 outer guns...that doesnt bother me....what i want to know is that with the art there does that affect the wing loading or not?

A5 can carry 2xmg151 20mm and 2xmgFF 20mm

Selecting only the mg151's will  improve performance, reduce weight.

But not that much.

Performance is changed some.

I THINK it removes MG FF/M's all together, if it doesn't, it's just the ammo.

I hope there will be graphics update for 190a-5 to remove those MG/FF barrels when gun is not selected. It's not major thing but I get allways stupid feeling while looking side view. It'somehow ruins little bit of immersion for me and so I usually stick with 4 cannon version.

Call me stupid. :D

The graphics for the wing guns are not ordinance like the gondolas on the 109s. Like the 50s on a Pony D, The 2 guns do not disapear when you chose 4 guns.
The weight of the guns and the ammo for them is removed from the model though.
It would be nice if the outer guns were modeled as Ord that disapeared when removed or changed to shorter barrels when you took the 30mm of the A8..

Or better yet... make A-6. Same clean lines of A-5, but with 4xmg151/20. Also option for GM-1(FW 190A-6/r4)

Give me Fw 190A-6 in the colors of JG54!!! :O
